Wayback Wednesday takes us back to 1987 and the animated feature birthed from the G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero cartoon which is nearly as incomprehensible today as it was 35 years ago. Originally intended for a theatrical release, the movie instead went straight-to-video. It was also later split into separate episodes fitting the formula of several other multi-episode arcs of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero.

Spidey Super Stories #19

Released 46 years ago, Throwback Tuesday takes a look back at Spidey Super Stories #19. For those who don’t remember the comic, Spidey Super Stories was geared towards younger readers that grew out of the Electric Company skits Spider-Man appeared on. As a joint venture, both Marvel Comics and the Children’s Television Workshop signed off on every issue. The stories usually featured Spider-Man teaming up with another Marvel hero and/or fighting a well-known Marvel villain (whose backstory was often featured in a single-page origin story).
